Winter Storm 2011

The beginning of February was the start of four days of being snowed and/or iced in. The winter storm that hit almost the entire country also made it's mark on north Texas. A little snow turned into a thick sheet of ice, which was then covered by half foot of more snow!


Work for both Ed and I, along with Nico's school was canceled, leaving us to spend quality time together. We watched lots of movies, read a ton of books, and even attempted some art projects; but apparently doing art with Mommy is just not the same as doing it with Mrs. Couth.


For a couple of different days, we enjoyed sitting around a fire cuddling. Nico was so excited about the fire and he did such a fantastic job listening and staying back from the fire. On his own, our creative little guy dragged all the pillows and blankets out from his room into the living room to make a little bed in front of the fireplace. And of course, he wanted Mommy and Daddy to sit on the floor with him. Precious!







Nico enjoyed watching the "no" fall outside and was eager to try his hand at playing in it. However, once we were outside, he was not impressed by the coldness of the snow, especially when it hit him in the form of a snowball. Overall, the little man did have some fun outside in the snow playing chase with Daddy, catching snowflakes on his tongue and throwing snow at Mommy!
